Weed ain't a way to happiness. Its a way to deal with all of the fucking assholes in your life, relax, and open your mind beyond your normal little bubble. Its a way to deal with pain, psychological baggage built up over years and/or PTSD, and control your appetite, among a myraid of other uses. Weed is, in a word, there for a reason. If you want any evidence that the universe, or at least life on our planet, was engineered by someone, or something, look at cannabis.

As for beach bum, good for him. I would've done the same thing if I didn't want a family some day, and its still an option for me. I wanted to be a "rock star" too, AND a recording engineer, just like him. I bought creamer for my friends with their EBT card from a wawa once and I felt embarrassed. As long as the government is enabling this shit, more power to the welfare leech. I'll go ahead and also copy what I wrote on a facebook post about socialism for posterity since it seems appropriate to this topic.

Quote:Compared to working to support yourself, yes, welfare is living in idle luxury. Particularly if you have kids. And I say this as someone who knows first hand the benefits of welfare. My mom was on welfare for the first 6 years of my life to focus on raising me. Am I grateful for it? Yes. Should it be permitted that someone can just have kids, and depend on other people's work to support themselves and their kids? No. My mom should've prepared, and planned to have me. She eventually got a job, and then another, and another and she's been working there for over 12 years. She's an exception to the rule, but most people that wind up on welfare do not have any intention of ever striving beyond it and supporting themselves. And they, in my opinion, are the scum of the earth. Even more so than the government that enables them to do so.

And yes I'm aware that my "good for him" statement contradicts what I wrote in the above quote. He's the scum of the earth, but good for him for taking advantage of the system. Fuck the system. Nunquam Ante Numquam Iterum.
